Shahrukh Khan likely to play Jawarharlal Nehru's role in a Hollywood movie

Posted by Kanchana Devi on March 21, 2012 in Editors Pick, Entertainment, News 0 Comments

Mumbai, March 21 (TruthDive): Oscar nominated filmmaker Bruce Beresford, who is currently in India, is planning to make a biopic on former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It is believed that he is considering superstar Shahrukh Khan for the role of Jawaharlal Nehru in the Hollywood movie. If everything goes well, SRK will reprise the role of Nehru.

On the Oscar nominated filmmaker Bruce's arrival to India, a bash party was thrown in honour of him in the plush Juhu bungalow. The dinner was hosted by well-known dentist Dr Pradhan and in the party Bruce Beresford spoke about his plans to make film on Indira Gandhi.

Though the party had its fair share of star filmmakers, there were also a significant number of actors who are in the autumn of their careers. It was interesting to watch the Driving Miss Daisy director being wooed by a few yesteryear actresses, but he was gracious enough to sit through it all.

Bruce Beresford, who has directed movies like Oscar-winning 'Driving Miss Daisy' and the action 'Double Jeopardy', has plans to do a biopic on former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Beresford's team used sophisticated technology to superimpose faces of Bollywood and Hollywood actors on to the characters in the film to get a better understanding of who would best suit the roles.

At the recent dinner party, Beresford showcased a PowerPoint presentation there which had morphed faces of many Hollywood and Bollywood actors as Indian politicians to be incorporated into the movie. Amongst those supposed to play vital characters in the movie are Shah Rukh Khan and Charlize Theron. Especially, there was quite a flutter in the room when SRK's face morphed into that of Jawaharlal Nehru.

If everything goes fine, we will see the new avatar of Shahrukh khan in Hollywood movie.

Can we please avoid posting offensive remarks and pics of people and politicians...i read this thing everyday on facebook and i dont want a rageful fight here ...look i am not a fan of Nehru ji either...FB has taken the job of insulting almost everyone so i guess here we should stay away from posting tht can either turn this into a shut down thread. Peace..

WELL SHAHRUKH has been rumoured to be playing so many roles in hollywood but all those things died down soon...aur waise bhi i dont think hollywood needs such a hamming star...if they are on the verge of self destruction

i think it's just a rumour. im not very keen on watching historical stories on celluloid cuz none of them were justified but instead majority of movies ended up mocking da respected figures

Well at least this would finally give Bollywood a viable excuse for sticking a white woman with little to no command of Hindi in a film!
Just wait til "Edwina" fronts a troup of thrusting and grinding Russian backup dancers wearing short shorts and bra tops with '40s style shoulder pads dripping gold naval braid through Nehru's musical dream sequence.
We'll remember it for all of our days.
I only hope Nehru gets to play a mandolin to woo her away from Lord Mountbatten...who can be shown having an affair with Nikhil Dwivedi.
Oh the mind REELS!

He does not have the Physique or the height or anything even close to look like "Nehru" apart from Smoking which sonmeone refered earlier.

I think, they should pick someone from Hollywood, like Ben Kingsley looked great as Gandhi.
